Nobody reads poetry, we are told at every inopportune moment. I read poetry. I am somebody. I am the people, too [...] If I wanted to understand a culture, my own for instance, and if I thought such an understanding were the basis for a lifelong inquiry, I would turn to poetry first. For it is my confirmed bias that the poets remain the most 'stunned by existence,' the most determined to redeem the world in words.
